Orange Crush

Orange Crush is an impressionist, as is made clear by titles like "Waterflow", "Neon Dreams" and "By The Shores". Like the undeniably similar Boards Of Canada he's rather fond of pitch flutters and artificially aging his sounds, a technique that gives some of his landscaped compositions the vague fuzziness of imperfect or fading memories.

Endreson is an impressionist, as is made clear by titles like "Waterflow", "Neon Dreams" and "By The Shores". Like the undeniably similar Boards Of Canada he's also rather fond of pitch flutters and artificially aging his sounds, a technique that gives some of his landscaped compositions the vague fuzziness of imperfect or fading memories. The good news is that he does it his own way so he's not really mimicking anyone. His beats lack the brittleness of classic B.O.C. for one thing, and his tones and textures are also consistently warm, thanks partly to the glittering electric guitar sounds.
